Hi there!

We know that:

Initial Total Mechanical Energy = Final Total Mechanical Energy

(Ei = Ef)

In this instance:

Ei = Gravitational Potential Energy

Ef = Kinetic Energy

In the absence of friction, ALL of the initial potential energy will be changed into kinetic energy at the bottom of the slide. Thus, the maximum kinetic energy of the child will be 1800 J.

The maximum is 1800 J since energy is not created nor destroyed, it is just transformed. In this example, gravitational potential energy is transformed to kinetic energy.

Why does metal feel cold
ikadub [295]

Answer:

Metal is cold because it is a good conductor. A conductor carries heat away from and object. Heat flows from your hand into the metal and then is conducted rapidly away into the bulk of the metal, leaving the metal surface and your skin surface relatively cool.

Explanation:

You are welcome.
